Day 279: Garden II


We have these beautiful, giant dandelions in the back garden. I remember being pretty upset as a child when I learned that dandelions were considered weeds.

Day 278: Garden


Last time I was here, everything was brown and bare. It's nice to see so much green.

Day 277: Opal VII


I missed this girl.

Day 276: Bay


I woke up early on Sunday and got some photos of the beautiful foggy bay outside my window. After a great flight to Kansas City, I finally made it home.

Day 275: Cargo



Saturday was a hell of a day, and I had to do it twice. Here is a shot from my seat on the C-5 cargo plane that took me to California. You can read about my adventures here.


After making it to San Francisco, I discovered that Tim had booked me a beautiful room with a view of the bay.

Day 274: Goodbye


We spent my last night in Okinawa at American Village, looking at the ocean and the ferris wheel and eating frozen yogurt.

Day 273: Sunset VIII


Tim and I went to the 100 Yen Store tonight (exactly like the Dollar Store, but filled with delightful Japanese stuff) to use up our collection of yen coins. On the drive home, I had to try and get one last sunset shot on my iPhone.

Day 272: Books II


Of all the books we own, these are the ones we kept out after packing up the apartment. I'm not sure what this says about us.

Day 271: Turtle


I got this stuffed turtle at the aquarium on our last visit. He's so cute.

Day 270: Sunabe

Stopped by the seawall today to pick up Tim's scuba certification. We took a short walk and I got to snap some photos. Such a cute place.

Day 269: Ribbons


A close-up of Tim's ribbons.

Day 268: Beach

Our last beach day in Okinawa was spent at Renaissance Hotel. It was a great day - I will miss these beaches.

Day 267: Sunset VII

I only have about a week left on the island to capture these amazing sunsets.

Day 266: Self-Portrait II

Tim and I had a movie date tonight, so I put on one of my favorite outfits (actually, one of my only outfits since we've started packing, but still one of my favorites). I even attempted a hairdo, which never happens.

Day 265: Chain


I've noticed I'm more focused lately when I go on a photo walk. Instead of snapping away at everything I see (like I usually do), I have been choosing my subjects more carefully. I think this results in better shots, as well as fewer crap shots to wade through to find "the one."

Day 264: Red

Finally went on a walk today around the BOQ. I love these flowers, and I'm always trying to get different kinds of shots.

Day 263: Circles

Another day of forgetting to take a proper picture. I see a photo walk in my near future. But thank jeebus for Instagram, amiright?

Day 262: Moving


We officially started packing up boxes today! I can't believe it's time!

Day 261: Keyboard II


Tim and I had a do-nothing day today, so I took this on my iphone without ever leaving my spot on the bed. So lazy.

Day 260: Moon III


How creepy I must have looked when Tim came home to find me, lights off, with my tripod and zoom lens sticking out the window.

Day 259: Study

Tim is hard at work studying for his diving certification written exam tomorrow.

Day 258: View II

The pretty view of the city from our base.

Day 257: Broccoli II

Still on my broccoli kick. Hopefully this habit sticks around.

Day 256: Cooking

I love it when Tim cooks dinner.

Day 255: Eugene

I spend a lot of time looking at this map lately. Can't wait to get to Oregon...

Day 254: Starfish


Tim had his first scuba certification class today at the Sunabe seawall, so I decided to tag along to get out of the house and enjoy the beautiful day. I had lots of time to write in my journal, read, look at the ocean, and as always, take a ridiculous number of photos. While I was hanging out at the ocean, the tide went out and I got to hop around the tide pools and play with starfish. I got majorly sunburned, but it was an awesome day.

Day 253: Sun

I was getting annoyed today that all my flower shots were looking too similar and boring, so I tried putting the sun behind one. I didn't quite nail it (it was a little windy), but it's pretty anyway.

Day 252: Drive II


This is me about 50% of the time we're in the car - hanging out the window taking pictures.

Day 251: Wall

This is some of the art at the newly remodeled O Club, where we eat Mongolian stir-fry every Wednesday.
